(pots by Gary Rith, reverse chrono order) Playing with toys. Pottery that is half dry is like a block of cheese, and you can get a nice faceted effect with a cheese slicer.
What if you got one of them bloomin' onion makin' things and modified just right so that you could put your pot's in there and do your faceting all in one swoop? Really Chop, Chop.
I tried the veg-a-matic, but it was sloppy, and underbuilt for stoneware! Maybe worth $10.
